“There are millions of apps out there for mobile devices—gaming, social and business apps—that have no tools in place for improving the user experience, yet billions of dollars are being poured into mobile app development,” said Lew Cirne, founder and CEO, New Relic. “In 2013, you’ll see New Relic offer analytics capabilities for native mobile apps that elegantly fill this gap and combine with our proven web app management tool to create the most comprehensive application solution out there.”

Headquartered in San Francisco, New Relic has a growing Portland presence. And it shows no signs of slowing. They’ve got two entire floors of the US Bancorp tower to fill. And given New Relic’s stats from 2012, it doesn’t look like that will be a problem.

And it’s going to be nice to have another startup with that sort of presence here in town. Even if it’s a branch office.

So what has investors so excited about the potential of the company?

“New Relic’s monitoring and performance management software plays a pivotal role in ensuring a quality user experience,” said Jeff Horing, managing director and co-founder, Insight Venture Partners, who led the round. “Customer usage expectations are high, and New Relic’s solutions help companies underwrite this experience. We look forward to partnering with management to scale New Relic to be the preeminent provider of performance management solutions to the world’s largest and fastest-growing companies.”

Thanks Rick, it’s just awesome to see more companies in Portland maturing and growing into serious mid-sized players.

Speaking of New Relic, I know our CEO wasn’t born and bred in Portland but just to be clear: while New Relic’s headquarters is in San Francisco we’ve always been a Portland company. Many of our first 10 employees have been in Portland since the founding of the company, two of our top executives call this town home, and Portland is where our fantastic software gets built and our fantastic customers get taken care of.
